I Built a Reproducible Mac Setup with Nix (kunchenguid.substack.com) 15 points by akane8 3mo ago ↗ HN
[–] solarkraft 3mo ago ↗ Interesting! I ended up just putting all the setup steps into a text file. I figure I don’t do it that often.Can Nix meaningfully change “defaults” configuration and such? That seems like it would be useful. [–] akane8 3mo ago ↗ Yes it totally can. I started with a plain bash script myself :) But as complexity grew it just became harder and harder to make it work consistently under different conditions. Nix solved it beautifully.
